Hey lads, how ya all doing!!
I have news, though whether it's good or bad depends on how you all view it. (though many of you will probably be pretty happy)
Now, as you all know, I've been uploading a bunch of chapters thanks to my schedule being wide open and me being done with university and whatnot.
Case in point, I myself uploaded nine chapters this month (I'm not including Beyond the ashes v2 (I'll explain why soon, but ch10 to 13 will undergo some editing)), and I finished with ch33 of "A sage in a Magical world" which i just uploaded down below, and I have purpose and conviction almost ready, probably tomorrow!
I even have a new naruto x fairy tail chapter done today, which I'll upload in a couple of hours!
So if we include purpose and conviction and the new naruto x fairy tail crossover, I will have uploaded at least 11 chapters this month (and I could have squeezed out more!!!)
But coming back on topic, I have been uploading many chapters, and I plan to write more, but at the same time, I've come to a realization in the past few weeks, and that is, I should be writing stories that my fans want, not what I think my fans want.
To that end, there were a good number of stories that I decided to stop with entirely as I realised it's not what caught your interest, not really, and as much as we (the writers and myself) enjoyed having those stories written, we can't proceed with them when we're in this for the sake of making money (not trying to sound greedy, I'm passionate about writing, but that is what this buisness is about and how I help my family). Stories that are done indefinitely, they might be picked up again in the future, but probably not.
Such as the stories uploaded by BananaPeak.
You see, the thing is, BananaPeak and UpperCut-Johnson (and MissSnickers from a while back), they are people I know in my university days, but they weren't working with me as partners, but more like employees where I paid them to write chapters.
Now MissSnickers we ended up stopping with, due to her heavy usage of A.I and the sheer inconsistency and all that, and BananaPeak, I can't actually tell if he's using A.I or not, but his stories has a small fanbase and I'm losing much more than I'm earning with him, and I don't think his style is that appealing to the fanbase here.
And don't get me wrong, I'm guilty of using A.I too on occasion, but I'm not reliant on it and I make sure to heavily edit it when I do use it every now and then, though much to my shame, I was a bit reliant on it a few years ago.
That's also why with UpperCut-Johnson, I gave him a good dose of tongue lashing recently, and why a few of his stories, namely "naruto the cheeky destroyer" "naruto the love-obsessed hollow" "and Gojo's black pearl" are gonna undergo a bit of editing by your truly. it's also why "beyond the ashes v2 ch10-13" will undergo those edits, because i entrusted the story to him for a bit.
but the point I'm trying to make is, BananaPeak's stories are dropped, and we might drop a few stories more which is what this poll is about, while a few stories of UpperCut-Johnson will be upgraded and improved and fixed. (not all his stories need that upgrade as I helped him heavily with quite a few, such as "three hearts" "harem and monsters" "hope of humanity", etc... some of those stories I'm proud to announce, are perfect as they are, it's just the ones I mentioned on the paragraph above, that need editing and refining.
We will also be picking up much more stories, I hired a few new writers on my end, and I made sure to actually test them out with the writing, and their writing is incredible and its easy to see that they're not actually using A.I
But yes, considering the state we're in, we're going to have two important polls, one to decide on which two-three stories we should drop.
and a second poll to decide on the new stories you'll want to see, which will focus more on the kind of content you guys enjoy, the fandom more specifically.
And finally, due to me dropping a good number of stories, i decided that it wouldn't be fair to you all that I charge you the current rate for subscription when I increased it due to the increase of stories we have.
We might increase it in the future (probably not), but the bottom line, I don't want to be unfair to you all so I'm lowering the price of subscription.
Anyway, that's everything, I'm sorry for the long explanation, check out the polls! check out ch33 of "A sage in a..." and look forward to the new Naruto x fairy tail crossover chapter that i'll be releasing today.
And finally, you'll be seeing a good number of edits to the chapters of "naruto the cheeky destroyer" "naruto the love-obsessed hollow" "and Gojo's black pearl" and "beyond the ashes" assuming they're not dropped due to the poll.
actually one more thing, the votes on the poll itself will determine how many we'll drop, so we could drop 1 or 5 or 0, etc... depends on the poll itself.
And dropping stories is not necessarily a bad thing as that means that we can introduce much more stories that are to your liking.
You all have multiple choices, and depending on the popularity of the choices on poll 2, we can have many stories for that crossover or not.
Now enjoy the poll!
